Alameda-based singer songwriter, Mike Santillan, known as Lunar Moth, will take you on a transcendent interstellar journey.  Born in the Philippines, from Southern California and the Portland, OR area, he weaves together tales of love, loss, washing machines, ghosts, robots, friends, pigeons, and space travel.  His songs will make you laugh, cry, and shake your banana.

Poignant and introspective harmonica-pop, Lunar Moth blends together melodic folk guitar melodies with witty lyrics (and occasionally a melodica).

A Lunar Moth experience is like a Wes Anderson reimagined Bob Dylan, if only Bob Dylan had more of a sense of humor.

Whimsical, nostalgic, quirky, kitsch, cheerful and melancholy his troubadour style tropes pack a melodic milieu.

Lunar Moth gets its name from Dr. Dolittle when Rex Harrison saddled away on his kindly Lunar Moth after all the animals went on strike for his return. Come sale away with Lunar Moth’s popstellar lullabies into the land of impossible dreams and hopeful sorrow. Your ears will strike until you can hear Lunar Moth again.

Styles and influences include but are not limited to: Johnathan Richman, The Monkees, Oingo Boingo, They Might Be Giants, Nick Lowe, The Decemberists, Talking Heads, Devo, ABBA, Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros, Tim Buckley, Doctor Dimento, The Archie’s, Pavement, Syd Barrett, Sparks, Robyn Hitchcock, Piebald, Jimmy Eat World, Jim Croce, Thee Oh Sees, Troubled Hubble, ELO, Xanadu, and Star Trek.
